Closures and Detours

Construction work is being conducted at various locations along I-75, from south of 13 Mile to north of Coolidge. In order to protect motorists and our road workers, there are continuous lane closures along this stretch of I-75. Opening the lanes for 1/2 mile segments, and then requiring motorists to merge back and forth is not a safe condition. Even though it may not look like we are working, rest assured we are progressing on the much needed work, while battling this unpredictable weather. All lanes are expected to be opened in mid-December, maybe around December 15th, weather permitting. We appreciate your patience.

The Modernize 75 widening and reconstruction project has been in the planning and development stages for nearly 20 years. Tree replacements will be completed Fall 2018 as part of the first construction segment. The second segment (North of 13 to North of Coolidge) is expected to be under full construction in Spring 2019. For project related questions, please send an email to MDOT-I75-MegaProject@michigan.gov.
